It is very annoying because VLC is one of very few movie players that support real media format, especially on non-Windows platform, such as OS X and Ubuntu Linux.<\/p>\n<p>Initially, I thought VLC is going to fix this bug very soon. After doing some researches, I found that this bug was introduced in a production release back in 2010. Although some users filed bug reports, it seems that it was not addressed. At least this bug is still exist in the released version.<\/p>\n<div class=\"alignright\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin-right:20px;\">After doing more investigations, I found that this bug was already addressed in the nightly builds version. Nightly builds version is a beta version. It comes with latest features. However, these features can be non-stable and not well tested. Since VLC crashes very often when playing real media movie, I think it doesn&#8217;t hurt to give the nightly builds version a try. Surprisingly, the overall experience is very good, and the problem seems gone!<\/p>\n<p>If you like to give it a try, please click the follow link to download the nightly builds version.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top:50px;\"><\/div>\n<div title=\"Download VLC Nightly Builds\" alt=\"Download VLC Nightly Builds\" class=\"VLC_Download\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/nightlies.videolan.org\/build\/win32\/last\/?C=M;O=D\" title=\"Download VLC Nightly Builds\" alt=\"Download VLC Nightly Builds\" target=\"_blank\">&raquo; Download VLC Nightly Builds (Windows 32-bit)<\/a><br \/>\n* Get the one that looks something like: vlc-1.3.0-git-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-win32.exe\n<\/div>\n<div title=\"Download VLC Nightly Builds\" alt=\"Download VLC Nightly Builds\" class=\"VLC_Download\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/nightlies.videolan.org\/build\/win64\/last\/?C=M;O=D\" title=\"Download VLC Nightly Builds\" alt=\"Download VLC Nightly Builds\" target=\"_blank\">&raquo; Download VLC Nightly Builds (Windows 64-bit)<\/a><br \/>\n* Get the one that looks something like: vlc-1.3.0-git-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-win64.exe\n<\/div>\n<div title=\"Download VLC Nightly Builds\" alt=\"Download VLC Nightly Builds\" class=\"VLC_Download\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/nightlies.videolan.org\/build\/macosx-intel\/?C=M;O=D\" title=\"Download VLC Nightly Builds\" alt=\"Download VLC Nightly Builds\" target=\"_blank\">&raquo; Download VLC Nightly Builds (OS X Intel 10.6 or later 64-bits)<\/a><br \/>\n* Get the one that looks something like: 1.2-branch-intel64-xxxxxxxx-xxxx.zip\n<\/div>\n<div title=\"Download VLC Nightly Builds\" alt=\"Download VLC Nightly Builds\" class=\"VLC_Download\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/nightlies.videolan.org\/build\/macosx-intel\/?C=M;O=D\" title=\"Download VLC Nightly Builds\" alt=\"Download VLC Nightly Builds\" target=\"_blank\">&raquo; Download VLC Nightly Builds (OS X Intel 10.6 or later 32-bits)<\/a><br \/>\n* Get the one that looks something like: 1.2-branch-intel-xxxxxxxx-xxxx.zip\n<\/div>\n<div title=\"Download VLC Nightly Builds\" alt=\"Download VLC Nightly Builds\" class=\"VLC_Download\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/nightlies.videolan.org\/build\/macosx\/?C=M;O=D\" title=\"Download VLC Nightly Builds\" alt=\"Download VLC Nightly Builds\" target=\"_blank\">&raquo; Download VLC Nightly Builds (OS X PowerPC 32-bit)<\/a><br \/>\n* Get the one that looks something like: vlc-git-powerpc-xxxxxxxx-xxxx.zip\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<style>\n.VLC_Download{\nborder:1px dashed #999;\nmargin:20px;\npadding:10px;<\/p>\n<p>}\n<\/style>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every time when I open a real media movie using VLC (VideoLAN) player, and when I try to fast forward or drag the time to a certain position, it crashes. <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/icesquare.com\/wordpress\/vlc-crashes-playing-real-media-movie\/\">Continue Reading &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[94,146,6,69],"tags":[147],"class_list":["post-2428","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-computer-problems-computer-help-pc-support","category-everyday-computer-problem","category-technology","category-troubleshooting-technology","tag-vlc"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1sqzr-Da","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":1581,"url":"https:\/\/icesquare.com\/wordpress\/weird-javascript-date-bug\/","url_meta":{"origin":2428,"position":0},"title":"Weird JavaScript Date Bug","author":"Derrick","date":"September 20, 2011","format":false,"excerpt":"Today I found a very weird bug in JavaScript - The date function.
